Abstract​

Drawing from lessons of how to scale an enterprise to thousands of microservices, we make the case that pushing concerns to the infrastructure for agentic systems should be a no-brainer when planning to scale agentic systems.

This talk explores how Zalando tackled this challenge by building and open-sourcing our own agentic identity broker as part of our broader agentic platform initiative. We will share how it supports delegation chains across third-party and in-house applications, integrates with the CNCF project agentgateway and how it allows us to keep these pesky authentication / authorization concerns on the infrastructure and keep MCP servers and agents simple.

We will dive into the technical mechanics, how it integrates into a larger enterprise and allows us to apply just enough governance to stay ahead of the game. We will cover practical applications and limitations of dynamic client registration. A closing outlook will illustrate how tool approvals and human-in-the-loop can be enforced centrally without agent authors or MCP authors having to build anything. Practical examples of CIBA and intent-based access will complete the session.
